Gardaí have arrested 12 people today as part of a crackdown on organised thefts by a Romanian gang in Dublin.
More than €30,000 worth of property, including mobile phones, cameras, clothing and cash, was also recovered when officers raided six houses in Tallaght and on the North Circular Road shortly after 5.30am.
Gardaí say the gang specialised in distraction thefts at ATM machines and in pubs and clubs around Dublin city centre.
Nine men and three women - aged between their teens and mid-40s - were detained in this morning's raids.
